"I Love You"

Asuna?

Shino/Asada POV~

     I woke up to a loud bang on the door. I groaned and covered my face with the sheets on my bed. 'Someone else can get it.' The sound got louder against the wood. "uggghhhhhh...its the weekend, come on." I got up out of my bed and changed into some more 'appropriate' clothes. Who am I kidding, I put on a hoodie. I went down stairs and shuffled to the door.

    As I opened the door, my eyes widened. A girl my age, with long chestnut hair and matching eyes stood stunningly in the door way. "Asuna? What are you doing here?" I asked. She smiled and said, "I just wanted to know if we could hang out today." I let her come inside and made some tea. "I haven't seen you in so long!" I exclaimed as I handed her a cup of tea. "We really do see each other in school." she said as she took a sip of tea. "Yeah." I said putting my hand behind my neck. Then a pause of awkward silence. "Well I have to go get change, so go ahead and make your self comfortable~!" I said as I walked into my room. I changed into a plain gray long-sleeve v-neck and some skinny jeans. I put on my favorite black and white shoes and grabbed my jacket. Just as I was twisting the knob of my bedroom door, I remembered something.

I went over to my window and pulled back the curtains. "Kirito!!!! I'm leaving with a friend now so I won't be here today!" I called over to him. He was playing on his laptop and almost dropped it when I started talking. He ruffled his dark hair with his hand and looked over at me. "I thought we were gonna hang out today." he said. I smiled. "I'll be done before tonight. We can hang out then!" He smiled back and waved. "Okay. Well, see you tonight!" I laughed and waved back. Then after pulling the curtain back down, I finally made my way down stairs.

--------------------------------

After walking around town and talking with Asuna, we arrived back at my house. Just as we were going to enter the door way, Kirito called my name. He came over but stopped and stared at Asuna, Asuna staring back at him. I felt something in my chest when I saw this happen, but I just ignored it. 'Probably nothing.' Then Kirito went to Asuna and introduced himself. "H-Hi, I'm Kirigaya Kazuto." he stuttered, pink dusting his cheeks. Another weird feeling. "Hello, I'm Asuna." she replied in her cute voice. "Do you guys want to come inside?" I asked, opening the door. They nodded but Kirito let Asuna enter before him. What a gentleman. They started talking to each other, completely ignoring me. I just sat awkwardly on the couch, waiting for my turn to speak. No chances came through so I just watched T.V. And sat quietly on the couch.

After about 20 minutes of Kirito and Asuna talking. I finally got up and went to the kitchen to make something for everyone to eat. It was a better idea than listening to them chat to one another. I sighed as once again, a pain hit me as I saw that they were sitting closer and still talking. I set down the plate and sat down in my chair. 'Glad their getting along...I guess I'm the third wheel.' I thought. Kirito never talked to anyone else this much, except for me. It made me feel weird seeing them like this. I tried not to think about it but my mind wondered back to the same question. 'Could they already like each other...?'
